Iucekns Hill, July 20th, 1860.
The classes were closely criticisedby'tbe teach
er and those requested to do so by lnm. Mri J.
T. Goode, of Macon, Ga„ questioned those in
the higher branches, and the students folly
proved by the knowledge of those important
studies they possessed that they fully apprecia
ted the golden season of youth as. the time to
study. The examination continued until five
o’clock p. m., when the welcome words, “the
exercises for the day are over" struck the ears
of all the pupils with a gleasome sound.
Mr. J. T. Goode was again introduced, who,
with his usual grace and politeness, stepped
forth and addressed the audience upon, the sub
ject of education. Ably did he defend that
high duty of every American citizen. “Edu
cate your children and raise them above the
negro and the scalawag.” He delineated in
vivid colors the advantages to be derived in
having children trained and educated by com
petent teachers.
At the close of the address by Mr. G., pre
parations were rapidly made for the exhibition
and for the speeches. Every boy, from lire
way he spoke, declared that Mr. W. was a mas
ter of the power to teach elocution. The scenes
of the exhibition were well selected, ably acted,
and drew from the . hearts of all present the
merited reward of praise. We are satisfied,
that if the school is kept in the present trim,
and in such good hands as its present teacher,
it will prosper, and the day is not far distant
when some great man will look back to that old
house and pay it due homage as his proud Alma
Mater.
At 11 o’clock everything concluded; and soon
all were wending their way homeward, fully sat
isfied with the day’s entertainment. Vmi.

A Rustic in Atlanta—Crops in Craw
ford.
Crawford County, Gi.,)
July 23, 1869. f
Editors Telegraph : Having, on a recent trip
up the country, sojourned four or five days in
and around the “Gate City,” I will endeavor to
present you with a few uninteresting items I
culled during that time. I am au unsophisti
cated rustic, you understand, haven’t much idea
of city methods of doing business, nor of the
innumerable ways the inhabitants of these
places “take in”. country crackers ; therefore
didn't push myself in amongst the “big folks”
in order to obtain the opinion of the Hon
orable Mr. This, or the renowned Mr. That,
concerning “ questions of vital importance,
eto., fearing that I might get into deep
water. It’s true I did peep in at the door
of “ His Excellency,” but didn’t ask him
any questions abont how the affairs of the State
stood; nor if he thought there was a probability
of Mg fingering any more of the State money,
for his own peculiar, particular purposes, as I
have heard people say he has done—do you
reckon that was so sure enough ?
And then I saw C. J. Brown, or somebody
they said wash©; but Til tell you he didn’t look
smart much—and I'm told Joe Brown is mighty
smart. I reckon my informant must have been
mistaken. The man he pointed at looked
sleepy out of his eyes, and didn’t seem bright
much, anyhow. Do you reckon it was Mr.
Brown ? •
That Opera House I’ve heard so much talk
abont is aright smart house, a sight larger and
finer than I expected; still thore's lots of pur
poses it’s put to—it ought to be large ; and it
ought to be fine too, as to that matter, to agree
with all the men that at times inhabit it.
The people around and in Atlanta entertain
the idea that their city is twice as large as ours!
(I sav ours—I don't live in any city, but claim
Macon, of course.) How is this ? There's cer
tainly no truth in their oft-repeated assertions,
or I could have seen more of the sign than I
did. It is true, I confess, that Atlanta has been,
and is still building up with almost unparalleled
rapiditv; still, I can't reconcile myself to the
belief that it has so far exceeded our little vil
lage in growth as not only to catch up with it,
but actually to double it I have always been
of the opinion that Macon was about twice as
large as it—that is, contained about twice as
many inhabitants. I know one thing— tow “

construction as much as theirs possibly can oure

complication, which promises to thwart suc
cessfully the hitherto almest inevitable election
of the Duke of Montpensier as rnler of Spain.
All the secret wishes and sympathies of the
Emperor, and especially the Empress Eugenie,
who actually dread to see a descendant of
Loins Philippe wear the Spanish crown, were
already enlisted in favor of the Count of Monte
molin. It is not even improbable that the ap
pearance of the Pretender is favorably looked
npon by one or another of the present rulers in
Madrid; for it is known that General Prjp,
after the failure of his last insurrection, made
compromise with Cabrera, the late General of
Don Carlos, both parties agreeing to defend the
cause of the eldest son of Don Juan, npon
whom all claims had descended, if he would
swear to uphold the Constitution of 1837 or
1856. It is true that the recent events have
tom that compact; but, as Prim has played a
conspicuous part in bringing abont the adjourn
ment until October, for the election of a king,
while he is just as well opposed to the Duke of
Montpensier as to a Republic, the inference
may not be quite groundless that he favors se
cretly the pretensions of the heir of Don Carlos.

provinces, and even in the Cortes some depu- a i ’ on street, and succeeded in

progress of Education, good living and fun.—
Mr. Heard’s school was examined, and a large
party of the ladies and gentlemen of the county
had collected for the purpose. The morning
exercises were concluded at 1 o’clock, much to
the approbation of all present. The pupils dis
played faithful instruction and commendable
diligence in study.
Then we had just such a dinner as a fat and
bountiful country can afford, and all the com
pany were in perfect trim to enjoy it. If

students acquittafr- themselves handsomely.

it is distressingly so. There is no local cause
for any oftoe various types of fever or chills, that

I would as soon risk my'health in its corpora

about town pleases the eye. The church build

built in toe Doric style.
Great-neatness and taste characterize toe
dwellings—which are nearly all of spotless
white, and shririking.coyly under tbe shelter of
umbrageons oaks, or peeping out' amid gay',
flowers and verdant shrubbery, look like blush

In the course of my walk I could not forego
the pleasure of calling on a valued friend and
acquaintance, the Rev. Dr. A. L Hamilton,
President of Andrew Female College.
\The Andrew Female College building is ft spa
cious and imposing structure, with ample room
to accommodate three hundred pupils. Every
nook and-corher of the building and its sur

I found the Doctor in his office, busy as usual.
He was folding and preparing for mailing to
friends and patrons, an address to the people of
Georgia, relating to the Andrew Female College;
also toe beautiful annual offering, a finely exe
cuted catalogue that gives a truly gratifying his
tory of the success of the College.
The Doctor received me cordially with a
hearty shake of toe hand, and with a God bless
you, with a smile playing over toe face which
made me feel welcome and at home. The Doc
tor treated me not only cordially but substan
tially. Nor can I so far forget myself as not to
acknowledge that his lovely wife contributed
her fell share in all I enjoyed at their beautiful

We are advised by a .special correspondent
that a most unfortunate occurrence took place,
in Crawfordville on Saturday. The faots, as de
tailed by our correspondent, are: Mr. Columbus
Reese came to the village in the afternoon, (toe
same man who was tried soon after toe war at
Washington, Wilkes county, by a court martial,
for killing a negro,) and began to drink, as is
his custom. It was not long before be began a
quarrel with Mr. Thomas Edwards, a quiet,
peaceable man, though in toe habit of drinking
sometimes; yet he was never, known to injure .
any one, and was much-thought of in the com
munity. - The quarrel continued for a few mo
ments, when Edwards, turning to walk away,
Reese threatened to shoot him, having a drawn,
pistol in his hand. Edwards was unarmed’and
had made no threats or any demonstrations.
When the threat was made he (Edwards) f canted
Reese, opening his shirt, and, as a brave-man
will do, told him to shoot. Reese, standing in
five feet, shot, toe ball entering Edwards’ breast,
near toe heart. Edwards fell upon toe ground,
and in a few moments had breathed his last.
Reese remained in town for some hours, walk
ing the streets and threatening to kill any one
who attempted to arrest him. He is- still at
large, and np to this hour no efforts have been
made for his arrest.—Constitutionalist..
